Definition of:ASIC. (A pplication S pecific I ntegrated C ircuit) Pronounced  a-sick.. A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor.The use of ASICs improve performance over general-purpose CPUs, because ASICs are hardwired to do a specific job and do not incur the overhead of fetching and interpreting stored instructions.lso promoting the decline of full custom ASICs are chip manufacturers that make generic chips containing all the necessary functions for specific mass market products such as DVDs, CDs, digital cameras, etc. See structured ASIC, gate array, standard cell, ASSP, PLD, adaptive computing and CSIC.
